Pineview Terrace residents seek relief from flooding problems

Complaining that continual flooding near their homes has created a health hazard, four residents from Pineview Terrace Apartments approached Katy City Council on Monday for help.

"We keep getting flooded and don't know who to go to," Zoraida Lemes said. "It's just unacceptable. There are all kinds of things floating in the water."

The apartment complex is west of Katy Hockley Cutoff and south of Morton Road.

Lemes said that during recent flooding, she and another resident, Donna DeCesare, had to beg a school bus driver to stop at another location so their children wouldn't be forced to wade through unsanitary water.
